Not a bad point, but I think you're a little mean to call the most popular editor for sysadmins/devops a 'part of computer history'. It's still pretty popular for web developers.
So... I lay down a challenge to you: can you name another editor which has a similar command to call out to the shell and replace the current buffer/file with the contents? i.e. I can extend the editor using external programs.
Reading again my comment, it's true that my tone was a bit mean. I used vim a lot and found it fascinating. I think we have better tools now, but that's not vim's fault, that's progress.
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
